What do Tasmanian tiger babies look like?

Tasmanian tigers are now extinct. However, they were marsupials, which meant that the young were born undeveloped and suckled on mothers' milk whilst in a pouch.The Tasmanian tiger, or Thylacine, was believed to bear around three young, once a year, during the winter-spring breeding season. As she had four teats, the female could carry up to four young in her pouch. The pouch could expand to the size where, with nearly-grown young in it, it would reach almost to the ground.

Why is the Thylacine called Thylacine?

The Thylacine's scientific name is Thylacinus cynocephalus, and it is from this that the marsupial gained its common name. The genus Thylacinus was derived from the modern Latin Thylacinus (genus name), which came from the Greek thulakos, meaning 'pouch'. Both males and females had a pouch: the female's pouch was for e purpose of nurturing the young joeys, while the male's pouch was to protect his reproductive organs as he ran through the dense bushland of his habitat.
